I don't suppose you could put online the text that I need to insert into the Print66 config file so that my Snow Leopard iMac can print to my 15 year old Apple Personal Laserwriter? I would hate to throw out a PowerMac and a laser printer that work so well, just because I am the only person in Tasmania who actually values these things. I don't have sufficient geek skills to fix it on my own. Darryl Yo Dean S,
